Overview
FlexList is a Flutter widget designed to create flexible, responsive lists that adapt dynamically within layout constraints. It functions similarly to how Expand widgets behave inside a Wrap, enabling items to grow and shrink based on available space. Ideal for creating fluid, scalable list layouts across different screen sizes and orientations, it enhances UI flexibility without complex custom coding. The package supports all major platforms, making it suitable for cross-platform applications requiring adaptive list behavior.
